    How was Davis our "enforcer"? There are no enforcers in the league anymore. You're thinking 1970s/80s players. Davis and Wes never went after the opposition physically like say Laimbeer or Rick Mahorn. They were just very good players. So is Dame.

    Figures. It had to be right after I posted it.

    OK, I am going to test it.

    We did not announce the trade of MyLe and Harkless for Kevin Love yet, either.

    He doesn't have potential. Too small, too unathletic.

    If you don't think Davis was our enforcer, we don't need to have a conversation about it. And please, don't tell me what I'm thinking. There's no possible way you could know.

    What happened with Quick and Davis? He said he was going to let us know what happened yesterday. It makes me think it wasn't as anti-Olshey as people thought.

    You know, what would be nice is if once--just once--you could acknowledge that Neil has a responsibility to make the team appreciably better before the end of this off-season, and that he should be held accountable if he doesn't.

    That's probably asking too much... :devilwink:

    If he doesn't make the team appreciably better he will be fired, that's been my guess this entire offseason.

    SOMETHING.

    He was offered nothing. Fuck Neil for that. Both of my favorite players other than Dame.

    NO can kiss my ass right now.

    The best and the worst thing about Blazer fans is they go ape shit-fall-in-love crazy with totally average players. It’s nothing new. Look At the rafters. It’s amazing really. We all love Ed Davis but can we pump the brakes a bit here?

    Outside of injuries to GSW who would've tacked a couple more L's onto 3-8 seeds if healthy.

    Spurs and Minn were the two hit with their best players going down for lengthy stretches.
    David Aldridge keeps pointing out that when he watched OKC in LA against the Clippers & Lakers. OKC was just stifling defensively before Robertson went down.
    But that was the Lakers and Clippers....

    I still believe Portland would've had the 4 seed if the Spurs had Leonard. Which if irrc that's where I predicted them before the season started.
    Utah was really the only surprise last year. But no one really predicted Mitchell would be RotY

    He was an elite offensive rebounder. He didn't knock people out when his teammates were picked on. That's an early 90s thing that doesn't happen anymore. Anthony Mason and Charles Oakley were enforcers.

    what second unit? Stotts has juggled the bench for two years looking for a rotation player and a 6 man.....even mined the G league to bring in Baldwin...we have a lot of young talent this season and expect Stotts to juggle the bench again....cream rises to the top...our youth get better if they want to play...

    How do you know he was offered nothing? We don't know what happens behind the scenes.
